On Friday, August 18th, for the ninth consecutive year, employees of the Hannah BG Shaw Home attended the Employee Appreciation Event. Each staff member along with a guest could attend this event. The party started outside and due to the heavy rain we moved inside but this didn’t put a damper on the festivities. Everyone assisted in moving the party into our Community Room where the Dietary Department provided an outstanding menu serving up: buffalo chicken egg rolls, bruschetta & cheesy garlic bread, calzones, herb stuffed tomatoes, Caesar pasta salad, shrimp with avocado & cucumber bites and much more. There were also cocktails and fine desserts for everyone’s enjoyment.

Dave Valero delivered a light and lively culmination of 70’s to current music repertoire. We had many free raffle prizes including a Patriot’s Themed Basket, Wine & Cheese Basket, Beer Basket, Thirty One Bag, scratch tickets and numerous gift certificates.

The main focus was to recognize and award the following employees for their years of service:30 years – Lisa Perry, Director of Dining Services15 years – Bob Salomaa, Director of Property Management and Brenda Arruda, Clinical Supervisor10 years – Janelle Bradley, Cook Supervisor5 years - Jennifer Boyce, Director of Activities; Cristina Heap, RC CNA; Courtney Wilder, per diem CNA, and Ruth Betts, Dietary Assistant.
